^ Completely unaware of any weird plans nor anything else 'cause he's in snooze town.
So tempting to just splash water all over the floor now. He huffs, ready to curl up again and snooze, but... Yeah the moment's gone. He's not gonna be able to fall asleep easily, ugh.
"..." Still. Staring at the ceiling beats talking to this dude right now. Maybe if he's lucky Plumeria will show up later with something to do. "Aye aye, c'pn."
…lots of words to say that yeah he can just stand up and leave but it's kinda difficult at the moment.
"Coolio."
Not coolio at all. He'll have to talk to Plumeria about this entire bs.
"Welp. In that case try to not splash all over the place or I'll make ya clean everything, wounds or not."
Guzma out. If mr. Fish wanted to say anything, he better do so now or shut up forever.
"Yeah, with like, what phone? Pretty sure I lost mine down in the ocean somewhere."
Wouldn't be the first time. He'll just get a new one. Gonna have to go through the pain of upgrading it to be depth proof again, though... Will have to tinker with that later.
"I'm mostly stuck in 'fish' mode righ' now." Why was he going along with that term. "... 's a lot of energy t' stay shifted when injured. I'd rather use it to heal, which already takes for-fucking-ever. Who the fuck nerfed us like tha'."
"Yeah? And it's a copyrighted name for Skulls only."
The fuck kinda question is that. That's his sis. And Admin. And bestie. Of course he's going around calling her nicknames and nothing else. Is he fucking stupid or something?
"...and I don't feel like explainin'. Just google it." a beat "...fish google it. The fandom wiki is surprisingly very well made, actually--
Dunno man are you stuck in fish mode or not?!"
"Heh." This guy's got some bite to him. He could appreciate that. If he weren't so annoying right now, that was.
"Ya call her Plumes?" That's a cute nickname. Though she introduced herself as Plumeria to him specifically, so maybe he will stick to that for now... But hey, a win is a win! Seems like he's not kicked out just yet.
"...Refresh me on the H2O rules, will ya? It's not a weird sea witch curse, though."
Yeah he watched these what about it. It's funny to see what humans come up with sometimes. Also he just really enjoyed them but he's not gonna admit that right now.
Welp. Still a shitty reaction. It's not like Guzma expected the other to shake in his non-existent boots ( what the fuck do fishes even know anyway??? ), but. Man. That's cold.
"Eh. Not feelin' like it." a squint, as he crosses his arms "For now. After all, you're right. Destroyin' some fish would just be unfair and boring."
Oh, he understood the unsaid meaning of those words, loud and clear -- and that's why he returned the same attitude. Two of us can play this game. Fuck you.
sheesh. What's up with the tension my guys.
"But, whatever. Plumes wants ya here, so guess ya gotta stay here." …another moment of silence. "…d'ya work with Little Mermaid rules or H2O rules. Cause if ya magically fish up when ya touch water we're gonna need one hell of an umbrella later."
"Guzma..."
Does it ring any bells? If he thinks real hard about it, it kinda does, actually. But only 'cause he was born in Alola and keeps up with the news. Kinda ironic he ended up at another evil team's place after being a leader of one himself a while ago.
"So ya... destroy things?" He wants the nice lady with the braincells back.
"An' I am grateful. Fer now." Why'd he have to add that last part? Archie shifts a bit, trying to get comfortable. It was kinda hard, even if it was the nicest tub they had apparently.
"...Yer not gonna destroy me, right? Wouldn't be a fair figh', yanno?"
"I said what I said."
Something regarding him not being her type. Specifically for the fact that she's not into men. Or fishes. Or fishes who look like men. Or viceversa-- Whatever he's wasting time overthinking about this bullshit. Especially since the guy finally introduced himself and the name sounded--
...familiar? Why why whyyyyy some guy's name sounded familiar. Maybe one of his grunts mentioned someone called like him some time ago?
Whatever, it's a name like any other.
"Guzma." and here comes the confident smirk "Leader of Team Skull, destruction in human form. So ya better be grateful the gang's havin' some compassion for your sorry ass."
Even if he'd love for Plumes to ask next time she wants to plop some mythological creature in her bathroom.
Ah. He's the owner. Good to know.
"Cool women?" Interesting. "An' I prefer the term merfolk."
While he'd rather shout, it seems unwise to do so right now. Because of his injuries, but also because he'd rather not be kicked out all hurt without a place to stay. So he'd try his best to be civil.
"...The name's Archie."
No need to lie. It'd probably bite him in the ass, anyway. Archie attempts to sit up a little to see the other better, but quickly abandons the idea when yep, that hurts like a motherfucker.
"An' yerself?"
"I'm the owner of this shithole!!!!!"
He never paid a single dime to be the de-facto owner, but so far nobody tried to evict them so we're good.
"And the nice lady usually brings home cool women, not. Fish men."
A scoff, a quick shrug. Whatever, he doesn't feel like starting a yelling match with the backup singer of the Mermaid Melody. Still doesn't mean he'll act any less aggressive for the time being. Betta fish kinda behavior, to stay in theme with this bullshit.
"Is princess Ariel gonna introduce himself, or..?"
Wtf is going on inside Shady House right now. Should he be worried.
"Ya started, ya--" Oof, okay, yelling hurts. He groans, clawed hand reaching for his side where Plumeria had bandaged him.
"...I AM thankful. T' the nice lady that helped me out. Iunno who ya are, and ya wake an injured bloke up by--"
A beat. "...Y'all only got one good tub?"
Huh? What? To be honest, he can't remember much about the way everything looked around here when he was carried in.
"Hmm. I guess I'm a little more thankful, then. Now, what do ya want? I might be stuck here f'r now, but I kinda wanna go back t' snooze town."
Nice shot!!!!!! He still got it after all. The… dude wakes up, clearly upset, and Guzma answers to that glare with a little nod, completely unfazed.
"Sup du--"
---just to get a taste of his own medicine …er, paper, thrown with much more strenght. It didn't hurt or anything, but having that thing splatted on his face is still annoying!
"Oh fuck you and drown--!
Ya got the only good tub in all the goddamn town, at least be more thankful!"
…dude you're the one who threw that thing to begin with.
He's just sleeping peacefully, despite being a little cramped in this bathtub, when suddenly-- Thonk!
"..." He slowly opens his eyes, squinting at the figure in the doorway. This was not the nice(?) lady who helped him out, but instead... some dude, staring down at him.
The piece of paper is floating in the water, getting soggy... He grabs it, and without a word throws it, aiming at Guzma's face.
@nolongeraqualeader
Plumeria has told you there is a fish guy in her private bathtub. When you go look, there IS actually a fish guy in there. He's currently asleep, snoozing half submerged in water with a pained expression on his face. Plumes had attempted to patch him up with bandages, her knowledge of medicine coming in handy, but was it enough? He briefly stirs, shark-like tail twitching slightly and splashing some water out of the tub. Seems like he's out for a bit more, unless someone wakes him up?
Well fuck me running there sure is a fish guy in the bathtub. At this point, would anything surprise him? Anything at all? He saw enough whacky shit in his life-- nah, fuck it, in the past decade alone, to not even make him particularly surprised.
He's kind of. Just staring at this point. An eyebrow up, a rolled piece of paper thrown up and down, his head tilted slightly on the side as he leans on the side of the door.
...and then throws it at his head.
"Wakey wakey."
Whatever. Let's deal with the umpteenth bullshit, too.
